Is it because you are terminally stupid, the hardware was not recognised, or did you just sleep late, and not bother going into work?

The subscribers on this mailing list are NOT PSYCHIC. Did you boot from floppy, or from CDROM? You saw it detect devices? Did it look like it picked up them all up? You're using 3.4 -- did you get the updated installation floppies from www.freebsd.org? When you reached the sysinstall program were you able to layout the filesystems? Finally, (and this is the one that gets most people) Did you _turn_ _your_ _computer_ _on_? > pls let me know as soon as possible I'll take my time in replying, thank you. gjvc -- [gjvc] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
